Southland Football

[myrecordwashorrible]

Starting this topic for the 5 of us that care.

Spidersal and I can rip on Lamar if nothing else.  Give em hell Sir Spider. 

1 win in week 1 by HCU against and an NAIA independent.  The Big Sky and FBS schools dominated the rest. 

Week 2 could leave the conference with another 1 win week. UIW over Northern Colorado is the only game with a SLC favorite as most are playing up a level this week.  Commerce has the only other FCS vs FCS game (Sacremento State).

Moderators, my bad.  Meant to post in college sports forum.  If moved, I appreciate it.

It's gonna be a long, terrible season. The Southland is bad.

[myrecordwashorrible]

Southeastern giving South Alabama a game. 7-7 at the half. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

Headed for 1 win with UIW getting it. Lamar and Southeastern with respectable showings.

Lamar played tough

Lamar played tough 

Idaho dismantled Nevada.  Thus, it's difficult to make any real "judgement" on Lamar with regards to improvement at this point.  South Dakota is no powerhouse, but a quality FCS year in and year out.  Might be the first real "measuring stick."  

Visited with an SLC coach who basically said the same thing about measuring with his squad based on first 2 opponents being at a completely different level.

Week 3. TAMC and Nicholls are on a bye week. The other 6 all play agai st FCS opponents with LU at South Dakota. Thankfully not South Dakota State.  Does LU get its first win?  

[myrecordwashorrible]

UIW is tied with Abiline at 10 in 3rd.  The rest of the teams have either lost or are simply being beat badly at the moment. Not a good weekend for the SLC. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

UIW picks up the only win of the weekend.

7 of 8 have games next week  

SELA hosts HCU in the first game of conference with the other 5 playing non-conference opponents. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

McNeese loses 31-28 after having a 28-7 lead in 1st half.  TAMC fails on 2pt conversion and falls to Old Dominion 10-9.  TAMC was a massive underdog.

All other games just started at 6.  LU and UIW already up in games they should win.  In an early surprise HCU up 17-6 early on SELA in the only in-conference game. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

Nichols will fall to Tulane. UIW demolishes North American University of Stafford Texas.  Lamar hammering Lincoln U.  My Huskies get a big win to start conference play at SELA, the preseason conference favorite.

LU vs HCU next week at CVS stadium in Sharpstown.   

[myrecordwashorrible]

Week 5.  LU @ HCU. NICH @ McNEESE.

Southeastern, A&M Commerce, and Northwestern State play non-conference opponents (all FCS level).  Incarnate Word is off.  

SLC is a combined 5 and 22 against non-conference opponents. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

Another out of conference loss. SELA falls at home to Tarleton. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

All 3 out of conference games are losses for the SLC. LU holds on to beat HCU and Nicholls holds a 21 pt 4th quarter lead on McNeese. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

5-25 record for the SLC out of conference.  

[myrecordwashorrible]

All teams play a conference opponent this week.  Leage leading Lamar, yes through 1 game, hosts Northwestern State.  

Nicholls hosts HCU, South Eastern travels to U of the Incanate Word, and McNeese will be at Commerce. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

Lamar, U of the Incarnate Word, and Nicholls are all winners today. McNeese @ Commerce started at 7. 

Extremely early in conference play, but Lamar sits at the top with Nicholls at 2-0.  UIW is also undefeated having played only 1 conference game. Commerce is playing its first game of conference tonight.  The other 4 have at least one loss. 

Lamar travels to preseason favorite, yet 0-6, Southeastern next week. 

 

[myrecordwashorrible]

McNeese falls big to Commerce 41-10.  

[myrecordwashorrible]

With Nicholls win over HCU the 4 Louisiana schools in the SLC finally have a win over someone not in the conference from Lousiana. The teams are a combined 2-22 with the other win being again Nicholls with a win over McNesse on 9/30. 

Tough year so far for our neighbors to the east. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

Lamar @ SELA...Commerce @ The Word.  These are the 2 conference matchups today.  PV @ HCU is the other game. 

Sad situation at Northwestern State as one of their players was shot and killed this week.  Thus, game @ Nichlls was cancelled. The young man, Ronnie Caldwell, was from Austin and played at Cedar Park before attending Tyler JC. 

 

[myrecordwashorrible]

Lamar hangs on to beat SELA.  UiW  beats A&M Commerce pulling away late 28-11.  If UIW beats McNeese next week, which would be expected, Lamar hosts UIW with both sitting at 3-0 in conference and UIW ranking in the FCS top 10 (6 going in to today's game) on the 28th.

HCU up 30-0 on PV in the 4th. 

The only other undefeated in Nicholls at 2-0.  They are at Commerce next week after today's game against Northwestern was canceled. 

[myrecordwashorrible]

SELA  beats Northwestern in Thursday night.  Nicholls knock off A&M Commerce.   University of The Incarnate Word and McNeese kick off at 7.  

[myrecordwashorrible]

McNeese takes a 24-7 halftime lead, but UIW shuts out McNeese in 2 half while scoring 3 touchdowns in the 4th. UIW wins 35-24. This sets up next Saturday, when LU welcomes UIW for a game between 2 of the 3 remaining unbeaten teams in conference. Nicholls is also 3-0 in conference.
